Getting to Know You with John Lonergan

In this episode of Getting to Know You, hosts Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock welcome former Governor of Mountjoy Prison and respected social commentator John Lonergan for a deeply insightful and thought-provoking conversation. Drawing inspiration from This Is Your Life and Desert Island Discs, Chris and Tony explore the man behind the public role — uncovering John’s reflections on leadership, justice, compassion, and the human stories that have shaped his outlook on life.

With warmth and honesty, John shares his journey from growing up in rural Tipperary to his years of service in Ireland’s prison system, along with the music, books, films, and sporting moments that have inspired him along the way. This is an hour of wisdom, humour, and heart — a truly memorable listen.
